When you need something sweet right now, this silky dessert with Lotus Biscoff cookies and spread is the answer. Layers of airy whipped cream, cookies briefly dipped in milk, and a luscious caramel-spiced spread are finished with fresh fruit. Ready in 5 minutes and no baking required.
Ingredients
- Whipping cream 33–35% — 7 fl oz | 200 ml
- Lotus Biscoff cookies — 12 pcs.
- Lotus Biscoff spread — 4 tbsp
- Milk — 3 tbsp | 50 ml
- Berries or sliced fruit for garnish — 3.5 oz | 100 g
Step-by-Step Recipe
- Prepare everything for assembly: chill the cream well, spoon the Lotus spread into a bowl, and slice the fruit.
- Whip the cream to soft peaks. It should hold its shape while staying smooth and billowy.
- Warm the Lotus spread in the microwave for 10–15 seconds so it becomes more fluid and easy to drizzle.
- Quickly dip each cookie in the milk for 1–2 seconds so it softens slightly without turning soggy.
- Assemble the dessert in glasses or dessert cups: a layer of cookies, a spoonful of whipped cream, then a fine ribbon of Lotus spread. Repeat the layers once more.
- Finish with whipped cream, berries or fruit, and, if you like, cookie crumbs and a few drops of Lotus spread. Serve immediately or chill for 5–10 minutes.

How to Serve and Store
Serve right after assembling so the cookies stay slightly textured and the cream remains airy. If you prefer a more soaked texture, let the dessert sit in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes. Assembled portions can be stored for up to 12 hours in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the Lotus Biscoff spread?
Yes, caramel sauce, peanut butter, or another nut butter will work, but the flavor will be milder and less spiced.
What if the cream won’t whip properly?
Chill the cream, bowl, and whisk more thoroughly, then whip on medium speed. The cream should have at least 30–33% fat.
Which fruits work best?
Tart berries such as raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries, or slices of banana. They balance the sweetness of the spread and cookies.
